Proceedings of the Ninth International Cryogenic Engineering Conference, Kobe, Japan, 11-14 May 1982 contains the papers presented during the entirety of the conference. The overall focus is on the presentation of technical developments and new applications in the field of cryogenics. The topics covered during the conference include high speed magnetic levitation train, magnetic fusion energy and its cryogenic applications, and cooling effects in a vortex cooler. Superconductivity and fusion, digital applications of the Josephson effect, thermally activated stirling cryocooler, and large cryogenic systems of the energy doubler are discussed as well. Physicists, chemists, engineers, and researchers in the field of cryogenics will find the compendium very insightful.

Written by an engineering consultant with over 48 years of experience in the field, this Second Edition provides a reader-friendly and thorough discussion of the fundamental principles and science of cryogenic engineering including the properties of fluids and solids, refrigeration and liquefaction, insulation, instrumentation, natural gas processi

Colorado Springs, Colorado, spectacularly located at the foot of Pike's Peak, was the site of the joint 1983 Cryogenic Engineer ing Conference - International Cryogenic Materials Conference. Over 300 papers were presented at the two conferences on a variety of cryogenic science and engineering topics. Volume 29 of Advances in Cryogenic Engineering contains 116 of the papers presented at the 1983 Cryogenic Engineering Confer ence. Each paper was comprehensively peer reviewed to maintain the international reputation of the series as the premier archival medium in the field of cryotechnology. I would like to thank both authors and reviewers for their assistance in the preparation of this volume. R. W. Fast, Editor xvii DEDICATION The cryogenic engineering community was saddened to learn of the death of A. Clark Leonard of the Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston, Ontario, on November 24, 1983. Professor Leonard was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada, in February, 1922. Following service in the RCAF during World War II he received his B.M.E. degree at the University of Saskatchewan. While serving with the Canadian forces in Korea, he was awarded membership in the Order of the British Empire. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan.
